China urges US to respect market economy after China Mobile denied entry

WASHINGTON/HONG KONG: China urged Washington on Friday to stop putting"unreasonable pressure" on Chinese companies after U.S. regulators voted to deny market access to China Mobile Ltd and suggested they could revoke approvals given to two other Chinese carriers.

State-owned China Mobile sought approval in 2011 to provide interconnection services for phone calls between the United States and other countries. It had not sought approval to provide wireless services to U.S. consumers. The approval would have given it enhanced access to U.S. telephone lines, fibre-optic cable, cellular networks and communications satellites.

FCC Commissioner Geoffrey Starks said Thursday"the national security environment has changed since those applications were granted" to other Chinese carriers. He said it was a"top priority" to address national security concerns regarding other carriers.

This might be the funniest headline of the day.
